Turbulent Times Chapter 16: Waterboarding and Extorting Confessions

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "The only ones who can know the place where Chief Dugu is being held are Turkic people, and their status must not be low. Such a person's own strength and the guards around him must not be weak. Therefore, I took Wu San Go with Wu Si, you guys are here to help."

…

In the middle of the night, the night was dark. Compared with the chaos and horror in other places in Longxi City, the original prefect's mansion was extremely quiet.

The former prefect's mansion in Longxi City is now the residence of King Boduo. Among them, except some of the maids and cooks of the former prefect's mansion who were still alive and stayed to serve King Bo Duo, all the others were killed by the Turks. The guards of the prefect's mansion were handed over to five hundred Turkic cavalry.

It was only late at night, except for more than forty gatekeepers and patrolling people, most of the Turkic cavalry had fallen asleep. Under the northwest corner of the prefect's mansion, three figures approached quietly. It was Wang Junlin who was leading Wu San and Wu Si.

The wall of the Taishou Mansion is more than ten feet high, and ordinary people cannot climb it, but it is not difficult for Wang Junlin and the Wu family brothers. Wu San and Wu Si wanted to climb over the wall as soon as they arrived, but they were stopped by Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin put his ear against the wall and listened to the movement inside. After a quarter of an hour, he estimated the interval between the patrolling Turkic soldiers in the prefect's mansion.

After another group of patrolling Turkic soldiers passed by, Wang Junlin immediately kicked his feet, exerted strength with his arms, grabbed the top of the wall, turned over and jumped into the wall, followed by Wu San and Wu Si, who looked better than Wang Junlin. Even easier.

The three of them entered the prefect's mansion, looked for a dark place to observe secretly for a while, and after roughly judging the route, they groped towards a row of wing rooms.

There are three wing rooms in this row, a total of 50 Turkic soldiers lived there, and they were in charge of patrolling the east side of the Taishou Mansion. There was only one person living in one of the wing rooms. Wang Junlin reckoned that this person was a small boss . He asked Wu San and Wu Si to watch at the door, quietly opened the window, turned inside, sneaked to the bed, knocked the man unconscious, thought for a while, helped him put on the man's clothes, leather armor, and shoes, and returned He also took his waist knife with him, and then ran out with this person on his back. Wu San took over at the door and continued to carry him.

"Go!"

Wang Junlin waved his right hand, Wang Junlin took the lead, Wu San was in the middle, Wu Si was in the back, hiding and returning to the place where they climbed over the wall before, and then the three joined forces and led the small leader of the Turkic cavalry to climb over the wall leave.

After all this was done, a group of Turkic soldiers patrolling with torches happened to pass by the position where the three climbed over the wall listlessly, and found nothing unusual. The whole process turned out to be exceptionally smooth. It's no wonder that the entire Longxi City is under the control of the Turks and the people from the Ge Dao Department. Who would have thought that someone as bold as Wang Junlin would break into the heart of the Turks, so the Turks' vigilance will inevitably relax.

Wang Junlin, Wu San and Wu Si carried the small leader of the Turkic soldiers on their shoulders and quickly left the prefect's mansion.

The people patrolling the city were Qiang warriors from the Ge Dao Department, and few of them were serious about their duties in the middle of the night, and they were just perfunctory. The three of them easily escaped the three waves of patrolling Ge Dao soldiers and returned to the willow house where they lived.

When a ladle of water was splashed on his face, the little Turkic leader woke up with a jolt, and then he found himself tied to a pillar.

Before he could make a sound of shock, a slap was slapped on his face, and then he saw a group of Qiang warriors surrounding him, looking at him fiercely.

The little Turkic leader was stunned for a while, and then shouted in Turkic, with a fierce expression on his face.

Although he could not understand the Turkic language, Wang Junlin reckoned that most of these words were curse words. Next to him, Zhou Hu slapped him again and shouted, "Don't speak bird language, speak Chinese."

At this time, Chinese is the common language of all ethnic groups in the East, and there are not a few Turkic people who can speak Chinese. Sure enough, this little boss understood Zhou Hu's words and shouted: "You Qiang dogs, you are so bold. Dare to take me here, do you want to court death?"

Wang Junlin didn't bother to explain nonsense to him, so he said, "Tell me where Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou in the Sui Dynasty, was imprisoned. If you don't answer honestly, I'll cut off your hands and feet."

The little leader was stunned for a moment, and cursed: "So you are Han dogs, come on! Kill me! I won't tell you."

Wang Junlin sneered and said, "Zhou Hu, chopped off one of his little fingers."

Zhou Hu agreed, grinning grimly, took out a dagger, grabbed the little boss's hand, and cut off the little finger of his right hand with a click.

Before a scream came out, his mouth was covered by Li Xiang next to him, his whole body trembling in pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he let out a muffled cry.

"Speak obediently now! Otherwise, I will have someone chop off your fingers one by one until you speak." Wang Junlin said indifferently, with an extremely calm expression.

Li Xiang let go of his mouth, and the little Turkic boss immediately said: "You bastards, kill me, I won't say anything."

"Cut off another finger." Wang Junlin didn't expect to grab a hard bone.

Zhou Hu also had anger in his eyes, and grabbed the little Turkic leader's left hand again, and cut off his little finger. He deliberately slowed down this time, and Li Xiang beside him cooperated to cover the little Turkic leader's mouth tightly , the latter trembled in pain, his face was pale, but his eyes were still fierce, unwilling to let go.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. The so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain of having their fingers cut off is not something normal people can bear. The people standing there asked themselves if they were placed in the situation of the small Turkic boss, they might not be able to bear it. .

Wang Junlin sighed slightly, wondering whether the will of the ancients was generally stronger than that of the later generations, or if he was unlucky to meet a ruthless person today, but as a top mercenary of the later generations, he was professionally trained in the methods of torture to extract confessions. The means he has mastered do not refer to cutting fingers as primitive and simple. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "If this is the case, then let's change the method."

"Go, bring a sweat towel and a pot of water."

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what Wang Junlin wanted to do, but Li Xiang and Qiao Zhengwei had already gone to prepare things.

Wang Junlin said again: "Untie him, lay him down on the ground, and put a wooden stool on his calf."

Zhou Hu stepped forward with a few scouts, and made preparations according to Wang Junlin's request.

At this time, the sweat towel and water were also brought over. Wang Junlin asked Wu San and Wu Si to hold down the man's left and right arms, and asked Zhou Hu to hold down his legs, and then covered his face with the sweat towel .

Wang Junlin seemed to recall the past, and smiled with emotion: "If you can handle this even, maybe I will spare your life"

Everyone didn't know why, and they were so curious that they opened their eyes wide and waited to see Wang Junlin's next move.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Junlin lifted the kettle half a foot away from the little Turkic leader's face, and slowly poured the water in the kettle onto his face.

The body of the little Turkic leader began to twitch violently and struggled, but Wu San, Wu Si and Zhou Hu were pressing down tightly, unable to break free at all. His face was covered with a sweat towel, and he couldn't breathe. A lot of water poured into his nose and mouth, and he couldn't spit it out even with the wet sweat towel.

If normal people choke on water, it will make their mouth and nose uncomfortable for a long time, but Wang Junlin's "watering" now not only doubles this feeling, but also makes people feel like they are about to suffocate and drown. This process will last for a long time, and people will continue to be in this state of extreme terror for a long time, but they will not die for a while, but it is true that life is worse than death.

According to Wang Junlin's knowledge, in their circle in later generations, the person who lasted the longest under this waterboarding method did not exceed five minutes.

Now, the little Turkic leader didn't know how long it lasted, but he was willing to confess before the pot of water was poured.

Everyone was amazed, Wu San, Wu Si and Zhou Hu let him go, Wang Junlin removed the wet sweat towel covering the little Turkic leader's face, the latter rolled over and vomited for a long time, The expression on his face was extremely terrified.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, Zhou Hu couldn't help asking: "Huo Chang, where did you learn this method?"

Wang Junlin smiled, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his expression, and said: "I have never learned it, but I have been watered like this before."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and they were immediately full of infinite curiosity about Wang Junlin's past.

Wang Junlin let out a long breath, and when the little Turkic leader took a breather for a while, he said, "Tell me! Where is Dugu Moyuguan, the governor of Yongzhou?"

At this time, the little Turkic leader looked at Wang Jun again, with a face full of fear, not daring to hide anything, and said with a dull face: "Dugu Moyu is locked in the prefect's mansion, and lives next to King Boduo."

Wang Junlin thought of the monk who stood at the top of the city when he entered the city during the day, and said, "Will you reveal all the information you know about King Bo Duo?"

"King Boduo is the messenger of the divine religion in the human world. This time, he is the one who strongly facilitated the alliance of the Qiang Ge Dao Department. The head of the Ge Dao Department, Mi Qinchi, and our Turkic chief, Wu Tu, all listen to him." The little Turkic leader no longer has anything to hide.

Wang Junlin thought for a while and said, "How many people are in charge of looking after Dugu?"

The little Turkic leader immediately said: "Only a maidservant of King Boduo is in charge. We Turks and Qiangs are not allowed to have contact with Dugu Moyu."

Wang Junlin was greatly surprised, and said: "Bring paper and pen and ink here, and ask him to draw the location of the room where Dugu Moyu was imprisoned and the route of entry and exit in the prefect's mansion."

Someone next to him had already prepared paper, ink, and pens, and the little Turkic boss immediately started to draw. Although the drawing was ugly, according to what he said, Wang Junlin already had a road map in his mind.

After drawing it, Wang Junlin looked at it carefully. He wanted to make sure that this road map was not randomly drawn by small Turkic leaders.
